Question
My son is 9 years old. This week, he told me his ear hurts a bit. Additionally, there is yellow earwax coming out, and his ear is buzzing. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat his otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear for the best effect?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and painkillers can be appropriately administered when the child’s ear pain is severe. If there are symptoms of high fever, medication should be used according to the child’s condition. In serious cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
